I’ll have to disagree with Laffer.

Both plans include a VAT.

That’s about the only way you could make our tax system worse than it already is.

A VAT is no worse than any other tax. The European implementation of the VAT is criticized because it was imposed on top of the already-existing income tax.

Both of these plans eliminate the corporate income tax. The criticisms of a VAT here are groundless.
